Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 71 Zhizhou's Death
At any time, getting something for free can make people happy.

As a qualified spectator, Jing Qian did his best to change the plot of a big drama, and his sense of participation was maximized!
The identities of these two [Yanshou] monks are not simple. Any one of them is the core of the island, no less than [Qingxuande].

They serve as the island owner of Shedi Zang Island and the abbot of Shedi Zang Temple respectively.

The souls of these two people are quite valuable.

Their sudden death caused the [Little Furnace of Impermanence] to explode.

[Life Stove] suddenly lost its owner, and the flames rose out of control for a moment.

On the other side of the dimension, Jing Qian was watching with envy.

There are at least seven or eight [Life Fires] in this place, and it would be a bit of a waste to burn them like this.

If he swallowed the [Void Furnace], he would have the materials for his sixth destiny.

In the crypt, Luo Yaozhi, who had just killed someone, was not polite. He took out two storage treasures from the two monks and threw them to Chi Ling, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Chi Ling, please keep this. This is our apology from [She Dizang Island]."

"Come back with me to [Hunzhou Island], and I will open all the [Life Hearths] to you."

Chi Ling nodded and followed the other party out.

Luo Yaozhi killed someone and pledged his allegiance, which gave her a little trust.

However, her life and death are still in the hands of the other party, and she relies entirely on her background to bluff others.

This made her very uncomfortable!
She has already completed the [Spiritual Motive forging of destiny], and as long as she completes the [Life Extension] promotion, she will be able to perfectly suppress the first [Spiritual Motive] in an instant.

By then, she will be able to fight against [Fu Ling] who has a weak background like Luo Yaozhi.

Luo Yaozhi took the lead and walked out of the cave without saying anything else.

Chi Ling fell behind by one step, not daring to relax the bronze sword in his hand.

In this dimension, Jing Qian displayed his [World Solution] divine power and clearly interpreted the message of the bronze sword:
[Inspiration: Pure Yang Sword Box]

[Requirements for suppression: Aspects of mountains and seas, and Aspects of spiritual treasures]

【Life span burden: two hours/day】

This bronze sword is actually a [spiritual inspiration], and it is the one with the lightest lifespan burden Jing Qian has ever seen.

Even his [Lifespan] fate can easily meet its burden and consumption.

Jing Qian followed the two great cultivators all the way out.

The drama is basically over, but the onlookers are still following the hot topics, fearing that they will miss the last exciting part.

Luo Yaozhi opened the seal of the bronze door, walked out of the dungeon first, and jumped out from the bottom of the dry well.

Zhizhou of [Hunzhou], which had disappeared for forty years, finally reappeared in the world.

But when Chi Ling followed closely behind and was about to walk out of the cage, the shadow behind her suddenly trembled.

She herself was unaware of it, but Jing Qian in the other dimension clearly saw a trace of blue magic power emanating from Chi Ling's shadow.

The next second, the shadow on the ground suddenly seemed to be cut in half, completely shattered into pieces.

The changes in the shadow actually directly affected Chi Ling's physical body.

This gifted and extraordinary man named Lingjizi took a step forward, and then he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and knew nothing.

Jing Qian in the other dimension was shocked to the point of horror!
The beauty who was holding the [Spiritual Inspiration] and preparing to upgrade to [Longevity] a second ago, was now shattered to pieces.

There is no more terrifying and shocking scene than this!
The body parts were mixed in the blood, most of the head was tilted to the side sadly, and the expression was just a little surprised.

The bronze sword slid to the ground, and violent fluctuations of magical power burst out from the sword.

Its shape changed rapidly, melting from a sword into liquid.

Luo Yaozhi sensed the fluctuation of magic power and turned around quickly. Witnessing the tragic scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank and an indescribable anger surged in his heart.

"Wu Jian!"

With an angry roar, the shadow on the ground gradually spread, and a figure slowly emerged from it.

The figure was covered in crimson, as if drenched in blood. He began to speak:
"Luo Zhizhou, since you've taken the Fire Evil Refining Technique from our [Blood River Sect], you must see it through to the end. There's no point giving up halfway or being indecisive."

"It's one thing for you to have two masters wrongfully killed, but do you really think you can let Chi Ling go?"

Luo Yaozhi's face turned pale and he said:
"There's a disciple from the academy hiding here. He can prove for me that I wasn't the one who killed Chi Ling!"

But Wu Jian replied:

"No one will investigate this matter further if there is no evidence."

After saying this, his bloody figure burst and disappeared like a bubble.

And the next second, an extremely violent wave of magic power descended from the sky, and a catastrophe suddenly occurred!
……

"Chi Ling is dead!"

The breath of an old Taoist holding a sword was weak, like a lamp that was about to go out.

But looking at him again, he looked like a big star hanging high in the sky.

"Why are you stopping me?"

The two Taoists standing opposite him were wearing black official robes. One of them spoke:
"Uncle Master, I'm so sorry, but please don't be impulsive!"

"I will wait for the next academic festival and find you a few more disciples with excellent qualifications to ensure that the inheritance of [Chun Yang Ruins] does not fall into the hands of others."

"Cough! Cough!"

The old Taoist coughed violently, as if he were seriously ill. He continued:

"Are you thinking I'm too old to lift the sword?"

"Who is the Taoist friend who is behind you all being so anxious?"

The black-robed monk continued to answer:
"Uncle Master, please do not question the impartiality of our academy. All the Dharma lineages on the academy's list are pillars of the Divine Dynasty. Our academy will certainly treat them all equally and give them our full support."

"Chi Ling is also a disciple of my academy. If he dies unexpectedly, someone will be held responsible."

"My academy has already sent people down the mountain, and they will definitely give you an explanation."

But the old Taoist sneered and said:
"I, Chunyangxu, have always given instructions to others. When did I ever need others to give instructions to me?"

"I'm going to draw my sword. If you're not afraid of death, just stand here!"

After saying that, he raised the iron sword in his hand and slowly slashed forward.

The two black-robed monks were only good at talking, but they dared not to stop the iron sword and quickly dodged to the side.

But the old Taoist gathered up his strength, swung the iron sword in his hand three times in a row, then turned around and walked back to the Taoist temple behind him.

……

[Youzhou] In the northwest, there is a rushing river that spans the continent and flows directly into the sea.

There is a blood-red sacred mountain at the source of the river. According to legend, it is the cave of a god. Whenever the god appears, a sea of ​​blood overflows from the sacred mountain, dyeing the river blood-red and affecting the areas in the downstream continents. People cannot drink water for months.

The sacred mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with five tall sacred peaks, which are extremely majestic!
On this day, a tiny sword light descended from the sky and slashed down the Divine Mountain. Although it was ethereal and invisible, it was extremely powerful.

The easternmost of the five sacred peaks was hit by a sword and was cut in half, the earth veins were broken and the peak was completely destroyed.

As for those who practice cultivation on the mountain, there is no possibility of survival!

The Blood River Sect, a lineage on the academy's list, had its core headquarters breached. The entire sect was furious and vowed to pay for their blood debt with blood!
……

In the middle of [Yingzhou], at the foot of a huge active volcano, there is a vast shrine where gods and ghosts run rampant. Although it is broad daylight, there is a ghostly aura overflowing, like a ghost country on earth.

Suddenly, a sword light fell from the sky and struck the center of the shrine. The entire shrine was split in half by the sword light, leaving a huge gap on the central axis.

And the next second, a small purple jade mirror flew out from the shrine, radiating infinite light and shining towards the sword light.

An angry shout came from it:

"Shangxi! Why don't you just die, you old dog!"

The school's lineage [Jingyun Shrine] was even worse off. The core of the sect was cut open by a sword, causing damage to the earth veins and leakage of vital energy.

The sect's [Life Stove], which had just been upgraded to the fourth rank, was unexpectedly knocked down to the fifth rank [Title] furnace.

Moreover, this matter seems to have nothing to do with the Jingyun Shrine and is purely an unprovoked disaster.

……

The third sword energy cut through [Hunzhou] and slashed towards the place where Chi Ling fell.

The disciple is dead, and Shang Xi no longer has the heart to distinguish right from wrong. Wherever the sword points, all living beings will be buried with him.

A sword punishment came down from the sky, wiping out the great [Life Island] that had stood in [Hunzhou] for three thousand years from the vast ocean.

Under the sword's glare, Zhizhou and Yanshou's entire lives of cultivation were wasted, and they, along with millions of other monks, perished together. ...

In the [virtual world], Jing Qian personally experienced this catastrophe from a unique perspective.

When the sword light came, Luo Yaozhi was the first to react. He used all his magic power to try to resist it.

However, the great master of the continent, [Fu Ling], could not even survive two breaths before being chopped into ashes.

Even the [Spiritual Inspiration] that he had suppressed was completely shattered and no longer existed.

The enormous force chopped everything on the island into nothingness. In Jing Qian's eyes of [Worldly Understanding], it was a magical light like colored glass, which was splashed wantonly.

Everything in the outside world was shattering, but this cave was safe and sound. The area near Chi Ling's corpse was consciously avoided by the sword light.

On [She Di Zang Island], there are two [white copper] veins and one [lapis lazuli] vein. Under the sword light, all the impurities in the veins were destroyed, leaving only pure metal treasures.

These precious minerals gathered towards the location of the cave, wrapping the entire cave inside, forming a hollow metal ball that sank to the bottom of the sea.

This is the burial place that Shang Xi built for Chi Ling. The sword energy is flowing here, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach!
In the end, [Shedi Zang Island] completely fell, leaving only a huge whirlpool on the vast ocean, making the already turbulent tide even more violent.

As the only surviving spectator, Jing Qian was greatly enlightened and witnessed a grand scene that should not have happened, but he was unexpectedly buried in the metal coffin.

Blocked by this thick precious material, he had to dig a hole if he wanted to get out.

Fortunately, I have the destiny [Sumeru] on me, so this is no longer a problem.

Jing Qian jumped out from the [virtual world] and appeared next to Chi Ling's broken body.

He tiptoed and picked up the two storage treasures discarded on the side.

This is a treasure from two high monks of [Yanshou], both of which are of the eighth rank. They were given to Chi Ling by Zhizhou and then obtained by Jing Qian.

Fortunately, these two treasures were closest to Chi Ling, so they were able to survive the catastrophe, otherwise they would have been chopped into ashes.

This was a great bargain for Jingqian!
In the entire [Hunzhou] territory, the two mine owners, Yongchang and Yongdian, can almost be regarded as the richest group of cultivators.

Jing Qian's [Sumeru] destiny changed, and he absorbed the two treasures completely.

The space of the [virtual world] has nearly doubled again, and two Dingyuan ships can be docked side by side. For the first time, this world feels empty.

He turned his attention to another place and saw a small bronze sword box placed in front of him.

This is the inspiration of the [Pure Yang Sword Box] left by Chi Ling, a secret of [Pure Yang Ruins], and also Jing Qian's most important gain this time.

Although he didn't know what the magical use of this sword box was, it looked like this treasure was very suitable for him.

Jing Qian tried to collect it with silk thread, but the sword case contained a strong sword energy, and the silk thread of [Weaving Soul] broke when it touched it, so it was useless.

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and created a void crack, which opened up a space tunnel leading directly to the [virtual world] and slowly covered the sword box.

He stretched the crack to its maximum, making it more than two meters wide, beyond the range of the sword energy in the sword box. He simply scooped up the [Inspiration] and put it into his bag.

The inheritance method that Jing Qian currently possesses is too crude and does not utilize the relevant knowledge of [Spiritual Inspiration] at all.

Fortunately, there is a [Taoist Book] in the [Solution to the World] that is being deduced. Once he obtains this inheritance, all problems will be solved.

After collecting the [Pure Yang Sword Box], there was no other gain in this underground cave. He was also quite surprised that Chi Ling opposite him did not have any storage treasure on him.

The Yin Year outside was passing by minute by minute, and many Yin Gui family members were waiting for him. Jing Qian was reluctant to waste any time.

He picked up a few cracks in the void, formed a one-meter square hole, and then cut towards the outer wall.

The surroundings are all made of [white copper] and [lapis lazuli] melted into one, which can be said to be a wall made of money.

The cutting power of Destiny [Sumeru] is extremely strong and can easily split the metal.

Soon, Jing Qian cut out a large cubic metal ingot.

Among them, at least thirty pieces of precious materials can be decomposed, worth hundreds of gold.

These are lumps of metal refined from the three mineral veins of the entire [She Di Zang Island], and their total value is simply inestimable.

Jing Qian was not digging an escape route at all, he was just picking up money!

He was originally digging vertically outwards, but the higher he dug, the more he started to turn.

He was like a little white mouse that fell into a cheese jar, drilling fiercely, wanting to grab all the cheese in one fell swoop.

This burial ground that Shang Xi built for Chi Ling was hollowed out by him by two-thirds from the inside.

It will not stop until the [virtual world] is filled to the brim and there is no space left.

He went outside contentedly, feeling that his life was complete.

He pulled the void rift into a thin needle and drilled a small hole the size of a needle in the metal lump.

With the help of the power of [Sumeru], the whole person escaped from the cage.

It is extremely impolite to break someone else's coffin without permission.

Jing Qian activated a bit of his [Life Fire] and melted the small hole he had drilled.

Then, he jumped into the dimension again and escaped to the surface of the sea.

What he saw and heard during his trip to Ksitigarbha Island was enough for him to savor for a long time.

After witnessing the true methods of cultivation, he felt that his horizons had broadened and his motivation to practice had increased.

The lump of metal was chopped into the deep sea by a sword, and Jing Qian went across nearly ten thousand meters before emerging from the water.

As soon as he came out, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The sixth-rank mermaid Yang Jia, who I had met once before, unexpectedly appeared here at some point.

I saw it leave the water and float high above the sea, as if waiting for something.

Immediately afterwards, an eagle's cry was heard, and a golden-winged Roc fell from the clouds.

Following closely behind was another incarnation of a divine bird with red feet and a white beak.

Jing Qian was shocked to discover that the two major landlords of the Hunzhou government office, Ling Mingji and Zhu Shou, had actually controlled their Dharma images to fly across the thousands of miles of sea and arrived here.

The one who appeared at this time was the absolute leader of the human race and the sea race in this 100,000-mile sea area.

In Jing Qian's mind, the powerful men of the two tribes, who were originally incompatible with each other, did not fight at the first opportunity.

On the contrary, the merman Yang Jia spoke first:
"Which deity did this [Shedi Zang Island] offend? A star disaster descended upon the world, completely wiping it out."

"Do you two fellow Daoists know the reason behind this?"

Ling Mingji immediately replied:
"Why is Mr. Jiao so concerned about my human family affairs?"

"This [Shedi Zang Island] is backed by the academy's lineage [Wu Chang Temple]. Any changes to it are not our turn to intervene."

Seeing that humans had lost a heritage [Life Island], Yang Jia was in a good mood.

Therefore, it immediately forgave Ling Mingji's offense and continued to ask:
"Where's Luo Yaozhi? Is he dead?"

"I haven't seen him in eight or nine Yin years."

"We have a good relationship. If anything happens to him, you must at least let me know so I can burn some incense on his behalf."

Ling Mingji said again:
"Zhizhou has made progress in his cultivation and has been able to glimpse the mysteries of the [Earthly Evil] realm. He is currently in seclusion, so please don't worry about him."

"Hahahaha, if you say so then it is."

Yang Jia continued:
"By the way, this Yin year, I will start grazing two months earlier, so you should go back and prepare early."

"Since Shedi Zang Island was damaged and the human race was severely weakened, I will be more generous this time. The sea tribe will not take any action and leave everything to you, the human race of Hunzhou, to deal with."

After saying this, the sixth-grade mermaid turned into light and disappeared.

After he left, [Shenpeng] and [Jingwei] manifested themselves in human form and stood side by side on the ruins of [Shektsang Island]. No one spoke for a while.

After a while, Ling Mingji said:
"Zhizhou fell in a stellar disaster. You and I no longer need to harbor any illusions."

"Then Yang Jia obviously already knows about this. This round of grazing will definitely not be simple."

But Zhushou nodded and said:
"Two of the fifteen [Life Islands] have been lost. Don't harbor any more illusions. We must mobilize all forces and let even low-level cultivators join the battle."

"Let's put our affairs aside for now and deal with it after we get through this grazing."

But Ling Mingji continued:
"Why don't we use the results of this herding battle as a basis to decide who will take over Zhizhou temporarily."

Zhushou nodded and replied:

"Can!"

After saying that, the two great cultivators transformed into birds and fled away again.
